I'm sorry to hear that it isn't a good movie. I really liked the short story that it's (apparently loosely) based upon.
Oh, and Pkitty, from what I remember:
Apologies in advance -- read that a long time ago, and am pretty hazy on lots of it.
Oh, and Pkitty, from what I remember:
The story is about a guy who goes to work for a cover time-travel program. He opts to give up his paycheck in exchange for giving himself what appear to be random little trinkets, but which are actually items that suddenly start becoming amazingly handy at just the right times -- a cheap bus token gets him quickly onto a bus to escape the government guys who want to abduct him, a broken coin ends up being a gang token that gets him into a private meeting with someone, that kind of thing. As I recall, there's no living time travel, but you can send a little crane thingie back into the past (or the future) and yank things into your present.
In the short story, our hero gets betrayed by the gal at the end -- she's holding a safe deposit key that he thought he'd hidden somewhere -- and then he sees this little mechanical arm come through a hole in the space-time continuum, yank the key out of her hands, and disappear. And he says something like, "Ha! I knew he'd take care of me," and the "he" he's referring to is the him that worked for the time-travel company.
